VGP - Snack foods refer to the food eaten between meals or for relaxation. Thinking of snack foods, all Hanoians remember the special sounds that cannot be found anywhere outside Hà Nội: the cry for steamed sticky rice and bread every morning; the cry for bánh khúc (khúc cake), bánh giò (giò cake), xôi chè (sticky rice with sweetened porridge), boiled maize or baked sweet potatoes in the late morning or at night. Each cry has a different rhythm and tone and leaves unforgettable memories in Hà Nội people and foreign tourists. This is a unique trait and a quintessence of eating and drinking culture in Hà Nội.
